Talk:Mormons tipped scale in ban on gay marriage

From WikiLeaks

This is like people in a fantasy world, say Disney(world), demanding the preservation of Micky Mouse!

I mean, the Mormons said “the formation of families is central to the Creator’s plan,” in a statement about this. I suppose if your world view includes a "Creator" then you have to subscribe to all of the associated myth and fantasy of a religious orientation.

When religious people force compliance with their morality, then they will create conflict; why not allow people to choose to live together, married or not. With marriage of course, comes the security of a formalised relationship that can benenfit (in law) any couple, regardless of gender. How can same gender marriage effect or damage "Marriage" as an 'ism?

The reason Mormon leadership got involved in this is because they were afraid of being hit with a lawsuit for refusing to join Adam and Steve in holy matrimony.

Since when is belief in God and following his commandments a myth and a fantasy?

Some do not like the concept of following a moralistic and faith centered belief system, and that is fine for them,
but for all the slander and libel that religions get for standing up for their beliefs is ridiculous, everyone has the
right to believe what they want and if you believe in the LDS faith, then you honor the sanctity of the bond between a man
and a women because between such is the power to create life.

Otherwise what is the purpose of existence? To make money and fulfill lustful desires? That is absolutely not what
God intended for His children. So how can the LDS church be put to shame by standing up for the principles on which we have
our faith? Simple, we know what the consequences of standing up for what we believe to be right are going to be, but for
love of God, family and faith we stand our ground and will not trade what man wants for what God wants of us.

The LDS are not controlled by their leaders, they are all taught that blessings come on principles of obedience and
faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Believing His word is to know that what is right in the sight of God and being
obedient to that is far more important that anything else.
